I might be able to sneak into the garage this weekend and get the disassembly done but it's most likely gonna be next weekend.

LOL I just realized I was getting confused with what SeeMeGovan posted in this thread and what you posted... I was like I could have sworn I read that it was recommended to do that. Sorry for any confusion.

Yeah I'll probably just replace both cam bolts since I have to loosen them both to spin the chain to equalize tension. It would be my luck to have that break/come loose later. Thanks again!

So, I got my timing set today which is great, but soon realized I never ordered an extra cam bolt for the exhaust side. I figured since it is recommended to replace this anytime you are disassembling the timing set, I should probably order one for that as well? Anyone know of this bolt failing...

Thanks for the information, I'm gonna stay on the current cams for now. Timing stuff showed up today but my wife needs me to fix other things first ??

I ordered the kit/alignment tools, ended up going through Edge Autosports. I also bought some extra washers just in case I need them, along with the oil pump chain and tensioner/guide. Yesterday I just took the battery out, the ECU, fuel pump and housing. I moved all the wiring harnesses out of...

Thank you for clearing that up for me! I have probably read through this post at least 3 or 4 times, there is a lot of good information in here. Hopefully I'll have my car back on the road soon.

Thanks!

I have a question, it might be a dumb question, but still a question. Is the M6 x 1 bolt the same bolt that is removed to install the TDC crank bolt/pin, or is it just a 6m x 1 bolt you had laying around?

Is the oil pump timed?

When replacing the oil pump components did you just use a regular adjustable spanner wrench to hold the sprocket when removing/tightening the bolt?

So I will be doing the VVT and timing set very soon and have been studying the timing related processes that the members of this forum have so kindly provided. I very much appreciate the efforts that went in to making these! I noticed that there is no mention of replacing the oil pump chain...

That's rough! Sorry to hear that, but thank you for the advice!

Well, I knew it was going to happen eventually, I just didn't think it would happen so soon. I bought my speed at the end of July last summer with 68k on it and I'm a bit over 71k now. It sat in the garage all winter and I have been driving it a decent amount lately. When I started it this...

I'm sure it's fine and I'm probably overthinking it, but would rather be safe than sorry. I guess I can use my points to buy that corksports rebuild kit for the pump :) I'm going to keep my eye on that prv, I've tested it a few times after driving the car for 20 min or so, so it was warm and...

I will mess around with it some more this weekend and see what I come up with. Thanks for the info!

Thank you!

Word! Beefwhore I start the tune I wanna know if I'm either being paranoid or just looking at fuel pressure too much. I've noticed that some times at idle it will drop to 270ish then pop back up to the 400s. I did the PRV test and it opens at 1780-1800. I see 1850 thrown around a lot for that...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and new to the Mazdaspeed platform. I guess I technically owned a Mazda a long time ago as a 1990 Ford probe with the 2.2 liter engine and standard transmission. Nothing fancy but it sure was reliable. I started out modifying Honda and Acuras in the late 90's...
